Professional Course Module
T&E 4206 – Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground
Weapons Integration
 
 

(3 Credits)


Course Description
   This module begins with an overview and description of Mil-Std-1760D, Interface Standard for Aircraft/Store Electrical Interconnection System as the baseline for Weapons Integration. The proper evaluation of a Stores Management System is covered in detail by using specific test cases. A generic set of evaluation guidelines is presented for Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground weapons testing, and no less than 20 weapons types are presented as examples. Safety footprints, hazard analysis and special considerations for live-fire exercises are addressed. Error budgeting and analysis are discussed in relation to weapons accuracy and consistency. A specific test case will be analyzed by students with the purpose of deciding whether errors are systemic or caused by biasing.
